Answers:
I'm pretty sure the fruit had the name first.
The fruit had a definite "orange" color, so english speakers used the fruit's name as the color's name.
Before english speakers were exposed to the fruit, the color was referred to as geoluhread.. Which literally translates yellow-red.
Hope I helped
The colour orange derives originally from the Sanskrit word narangah for the fruit, whose name moved westwards through Persian narang and Arabic naranj to Spanish (the Arabs imported it into Europe via Moorish Spain in medieval times); in French it became corrupted to orange, in part by the process called metanalysis but also through being strongly influenced by the name of the town of Orange in south-eastern France which used to be a centre of the orange trade.
